I Highly Recommend...


Due to a thread(I can't find) I recently joined AWI to recieve this book:


I ended up subscribing to their magazine as well and I highly recommend joining if you do trim carpentry. There is a wealth of information here. If I had found this 5 years ago I'd be as smart as Tom R by now.

Here's their website: http://www.awinet.org/QualityStandar...2/Default.aspx

PS: It costs less to join and get the soft cover free than to just buy the hardcover.

This is an old post but I joined AWI and received the quality standards book and their magazine which had some good information as well. Well worth the 80$ to join. If some of you missed this post I'd recommend checking it out. Thanks Orson for posting this originally.

That looks like a good find Orson. I remember seeing this book awhile back and found it to be loaded with architectural details galore. Huge book.
